Afrolicious family, we're spreading the love on a brief Texas tour this weekend, if you have friends or family down that way let them know we are returning to Austin to celebrate the release of the new issue of Waxpoetics magazine, featuring War on the cover, who are one of the bands that formed the template for the music we play! We had an epic time last time we were in Austin, one of our favorite parties of all time rocking with DJ Chorizo Funk, Papa Chop, Jeff Strange and all the mad dancers! We will also be making our first trip to Houston on Monday to rock with our good friend DJ Sun, we are looking forward to the Southern Hospitality!

This week we have a longtime keeper of the global sound, DJ Dragonfly. He has been holding it steady in California at many festivals, his own events, and with big-name acts in global-electronica. Dragonfly embodies devotion, passion, and love in his quest for new and fresh sounds as well as the ancient. He is a master of bringing folks together with his 10 year long running Groove Garden and it is with great honor that we invite the man to do his thing at Afrolicious.

We also want to remind you that Afrolicious will be keeping in the tradition of the last 3 years for Thanksgiving and we will be celebrating Thanksgiving inna Afrolicious stylee, (that is to say a very FUNKY Thanksgiving.)

Afrolicious welcomes Thomas Blondet!



It has been a MIGHTY week in San Francisco, definitely the craziest this town has seen in a long while. We celebrated our ancestors with Dia De Los Muertos, Halloween weekend was a wild one, big up to Ninja Tune for celebrating 20 years and the party @ 1015 Folsom Friday. Big up to Sunset promotions and the Space Cowboys for throwing Ghostship party Saturday and The Triple Crown on Sunday night were off the chain! And of course congratulations to the World Series Champion Giants, they have lit a fire of passion in the good people of SF and the Bay.

This Thursday night November 4th we are pleased and honored to have an incredible talent all the way from Washington D.C. Thomas Blondet. His production work has been in the mix at Afrolicious with such heaters as Havana 2am. Which you can download for free here. As well as his Sunday night residency at the legendary 18th st Lounge in Washington D.C., Thomas has been running a label out of D.C. called Rhythm and Culture for awhile and we are celebrating their most recent release called 'The Sound of Rhythm and Culture'. We got the pleasure of playing with him in D.C. and it is now our turn to get to host him.

Much more in store, and trust us it is only getting better!!!!
